There was a time when witchcraft legitimately terrified people. While there has been a revival in recent years of films dealing with witchcraft, The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016) is effective due to the way it subverts the tropes that plagued the 1990s and 2000s.

It feels like Stephen King’s It was the first major horror release we’ve seen in a while. That’s not to say there aren’t some scary flicks that do well at the box office pretty much every year, but most of them blend together over time. It seems more like a film we’ll remember and look back on – not to mention we’re already learning some details about its sequel.

One of the most common complaints levied against horror films is that their characters tend to make bad decisions. Watching the action unfold, waiting for the orchestral blast of a jump scare, whether in the theater or in your own living room.

“I hate jump scares, and I find them being used more and more in traditionally-shot studio horror,” says Stephen Cognetti, writer and director of the found footage indie hit Hell House LLC. This wonderfully refreshing attitude definitely shows in his latest release, the Director’s Cut of his debut feature-length film. Hell House LLC may well be the only found footage movie in recent years—or possibly ever—to not have any jump scares.

It’s the most wonderful time of year for all horror fans to whom Hallow’s Eve is very much Christmas come early. One of the most important preparations for October 31st is stitching together the most fiendish film playlists for our viewing (dis)pleasure.

There are too many vampire movies. Sure, vampires are a staple of horror. But after a few hundred vampire movies, the genre gets a little stale. So a few creative minds reinterpreted the myth – scrapping everything stale about the undead (save for the blood sucking part). Thirsty for new blood in the vampire genre? Then take a visit to VampireFest (Without Vampires).
